Nekromantix Does It Again

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ok, this album is probably their best album... It is kind of hard to pick one. Return of the Loving Dead has everything. This album stays true to the psychobilly genre. They are still extremes in that area. Unlike Curse of the Coffin, Nekromantix did not try too hard and over do the psycho image (although i do not regret buying Curse of the Coffin). Nekroman is a beast on his bass, and the lyrics are great. The songs on this album are all in the same catagory, but somehow they cover a variety of feelings. When you are in the mood to just kinda rock out, there are songs that are very appealing, when you wanna hear/see something messed up and twisted... Oh yeah, you can get that on this album. And if you are in the mood for just moderation, there are a few songs for that, or you can basically just turn the volume down a little, except on the twisted ones!The album has some good length to it, and i would reccoment this album, and actually gaurentee that you will like it if you like bands such as, Tiger Army, Horrorpops, Nekromantix (duh), Koffin Kats, and The Misfits. If you ever liked any of the Nekromantix albums... then get this one. You will become a Nekro fan for life. If Nekromantix is new to you, then you might want to sample a few of their songs first (Who Killed The Cheerleader, Hellcat, Subculture Girl, and Nekronomicon... that should cover some of the variety)
Honestly... Get the album

HAIL TO THE DEAD KINGS OF PSYCHO!

"Now, I'm gonna have to disagree with many psychos out there when I say that this album is pretty darn good! I love these kings of psycho just as much as any other psycho out there and i'm gonna have to say that this album is one of there best and it comes pretty close to rivaling curse of the coffin and hellbound. I don't think they got watered down at all and actually think that this hellcat release is really gonna help to get the gospel of psycho out to all my fellow american teens and psychos who don't know what there missing. I love this album and its a hell of a lot better than Demons are a Girls Best friend."
Unholy marriage of the Misfits and the Stray Cats!

"This is some of the better psychobilly out there. Like the review title says, this is like some marriage made in hell of the Misfits (Glenn Danzig-era) and the Stray Cats. The geetar is both twangy and thunderous. Each track is good; hard to pick out a favorite. This is also my first exposure to NEKROMANTIX, so I can't comment on their other albums. Highly recommended, get this or be fed upon by the Loving Dead!"
